If the refrigerator only dispenses crushed cubes, this means that your bar along the bottom of the bin is not being lifted. If you remove the bin you'll see the metal bar along the bottom of it which is used to change the ice dispenser from crushed to cubed. Look at the wall behind the ice bin now. You'll see a hole that the metal bar goes through. This is where a white plastic stirrup pulls up on the lever to change the bin to "cubed" ice. Make sure that the metal bar does not slide under the stirrup when you re-install the bucket. Try the dispenser again and if it still won't dispense cubed ice, you'll need to order and replace the ice solenoid that lifts the stirrup looking device behind the back panel inside the freezer. Below is a link to the solenoid you'd need to order and replace.
